Boost Your Internet Speed In XP:


Boost Your Internet Speed In XP:

I know this is a very old trick.. But if anyone does not know this plz use this!!!
Windows uses 20% of your bandwidth.
Here’s how to get it back:
Click Start–>Run–>type “gpedit.msc” without the ”
This opens the group policy editor. Then go to:
Local Computer Policy–>Computer Configuration–>Administrative Templates–>Network–>QOS Packet Scheduler–>Limit Reservable Bandwidth
Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the ‘Explain’ tab :
“By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default.”
So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO. This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20%.
Works on XP Pro and 2000
